Indian Summer Pudding

My great-aunt, Nina, who was my grandmother’s sister, collected recipes for many decades. She was born in 1909, she didn’t learn to drive, never married, she didn’t have children and she worked for the post office from the age of 16 until she retired. She was fiercely independent and was the only ‘grandmother’ I ever knew. And in a time when it was tough to be independent…she was a true inspiration. I was the only one in the family who had a special nickname for her – I called her Ninni Nunni – I adored her!

This recipe I found hand written in a little recipe book I found recently and has been a wonderful pudding to ‘build’!
